The Senate is populated by wussies.

‘Nuff said.

Bolton seems to resonate with the fellas at the coffee shop.

“He has argued the U.S. should bomb Iran to stop its nuclear program, dismissed the idea of a Palestinian state and called the United Nations a “twilight zone.””

I’m not seeing a problem here.

Although, the UN looks more like the bar scene in Star Wars than the Twilight Zone.

Rex cleans up the world, while Josh cleans up the State Department.

Works for me.

we need someone tough enough to rip out the core of the State dept, while Tillerson makes nice with foreign leaders. State is just full of liberal political correctness!

Donald Trump’s selection of ExxonMobil chief Rex Tillerson as secretary of state threatens to touch off a confirmation fight

Doubtful. Any confirmation fight over Tillerson could quickly degenerate into a back-door trial of Hillary.

We have within the Republican Party today, pro and anti-war factions.

Deal with it.

Maybe Bolton is there to make sure Rex is confirmed.

If the senate doesn’t like him, that’s a big plus for the Bolton nomination. He must be the right guy for the job.

Having an outsider like Tillerson makes a lot of sense - he’s a breath of fresh air from the typical diplomats/political hacks that traditionally get the job. He’ll look at things from a wholly different perspective - kind of the Trump of the State Department.

HOWEVER, you cannot just have someone with little or no experience in charge of a very substantive department employing thousands or more people, with responsibilities that have world-wide repercussions. You need him to have staff that can implement his (and his boss’) ideas. You need someone who knows the territory and the personnel, and can say “HE is the problem in our Mideast Desk” and “THEY are the problem on our Asia desk.” In short, you need (at least for a while) to do what Patton did in Germany - hire those ex-Nazis who know how to run the railroads, keep the water running, etc., so that there’s not a disaster. Like Bolton or not (and I do like him - he’s exceptionally sharp, and pro-US - unlike most of our diplomats), he’s the right guy for the job. Also keep in mind that he will do as he’s told - he won’t be making too many policy decisions, as those will be made by the 2 layers above him. His job will be to find the best way to implement those policies, period.

‘...possibly one of the least diplomatic diplomats ever to serve in the U.S. government. He has argued the U.S. should bomb Iran to stop its nuclear program, dismissed the idea of a Palestinian state and called the United Nations a “twilight zone.”’

Well, most everything he says is 100% true. I guess “undiplomatic” means he isn’t willing to lie to our enemies just to make them feel better.
